The Yewdale Inn is a hotel and pub found in the heart of the historic Lake District village of Coniston. Thanks to the idyllic scenery and rural landscape, the village has become a tourism hotspot in recent years and today, it is a popular destination particularly for climbers, walkers, cyclists and water-sports enthusiasts.
The hotel is a 19th Century slate building which has previously taken on a number of roles over the years, including having once been a bank. The current owners took over the building in 2013 when the public areas were in a poor state of repair and in much need of refurbishment.
In the four years since claiming the building, progress has been plentiful and full refurbishments have been made throughout.
The owners’ first project was to convert the old breakfast room and resident’s lounge into a contemporary café with a picturesque terrace area. For the room’s update, all new interior and outdoor furniture was ordered from Trent Furniture.
“We chose Trent Furniture on a recommendation from a friend and after extensive research into available alternatives,” comments Susie Hart, manager at Yewdale Inn. “The sales staff are always extremely helpful and we have been delighted by the excellent quality of the products and price.”
The final project was the modernisation of the pub. The refurbishment included creating a designated bar and dining area within the pub. Wooden chairs, tub chairs, poseur tables and a range of bar stools were all ordered to complete the new setting. Specifically, two black art deco poseur tables, six brass rail stools, four Boston bar stools, eight crossback stacking chairs and six Nevada tub chairs.
“We are delighted with the results and have already received many compliments from our customers. We are keeping fingers crossed that we will receive a Food & Drink award from Cumbria Life magazine helped by the new-look pub”, says Susie.
We’re pleased that our furniture has helped breathe new life into this hotel. We wish them the best of luck at the upcoming awards ceremony – we certainly think that they’re award-worthy!
